Wow I'm in love. This one is so much better than Shredded White and smells great too. The blooms are so much bigger and fuller. It is loaded down with bloom pods right now. Does this one pollinate with other brugs too?
Fantasma finally blooming

and last
How beautiful. That is really gorgeous. That middle one looks like a lady in a full white dress with a green shawl. If you don't enlarge the photo, she looks like she has arms and a hat too. How lovely.
Donna very pretty!
Haven't seen this one in person yet.
I've got the Shredded White but that one does have much larger blooms and it looks to be more floriferous! :)
That is so pretty!
Lovely pictures. Did it come from Kartuz?
Yes Liz I got it at Kartuz
Shoot, the pics are not there for me.
And here I thought Fantasma and Shredded White were one and the same. I wonder how Fantasma came to be. Anyone know?
Hmmm they weren't there for me either. I wonder what happened.
Maybe they will come back in the morning Donna. I am dying to see your pictures! I love it when there are more than 1. You really get a good idea of the bloom, like you are there seeing it in person!
The pictures are not there for me!
I even asked Mike Kartuz and he said they were the same brug. Maybe he doesn't know what he has.
I don't think he does Shirley. I had several miss named brugs from him. You all identified them for me. The Fantasma leaves are also a lot bigger.
Donna, these are beautiful! I'm really pleased with cuttings that you sent me. They are Growing & Blooming!
My shredded white just finished blooming and it looked just like your pics. I think they are the same brug, but since I do not have fantasma, I can not say for sure. I guess you need to try pollinating the 2 to find out.
Larry would be glad to send you a cutting later. Right now it is growing like a tree with just the Y's.
I think Fantasma is like a Star Dancer EXCEPT for the petals being rounded instead of being squared off like a SD.
I do like this one =)
I've had Fantasma. It is nothing like Star Dancer. It has many, many petals and resembles Shredded White. Here is a link to Star Dancer's picture in the PDB. You can see inside Start Dancer...and you can't see inside Fantasma or Shredded White. In fact, it is hard to find the stigma and anthers in the last two mentioned. I can say that there are so many petals in one bloom that it makes this plant messy. Star Dancer has split petals, but a single layer of them. I think it is a beautiful brug. I don't know how it smells, but I can tell you that I loved sticking my nose in the two with the shredded blooms. Very fragrant.
Gee Donna that is gorgeous! So your pretty sure it and SW are different brugs? Must be sisters?
Scoot, here's my Star Dancer, Brugie's right, not similar :)
The fragrence of mine is a strong floral mint.
Great pictures , Donna.
I honestly don't know VI. All I can say is Fantasma is much better than my Shredded White. The leaves and blooms are much bigger; also it never got all these flowerpods at one time like Fantasma. Besides the open blooms there are about 15 more flowerpods on it right now.
Hehehe ! Y'all need to send me one of each so I can compare
;-P
I can see them today Donna! Looks very nice!
